Bowling tournament method

ABSTRACT

A one game scratch match play single elimination tournament for league players, including the steps of providing a pool of eligible league players; placing each eligible league player into one of eight divisions, each division being defined by highest average scores attained by league players in current league play; conducting a local first round of competition in which each of the eligible league players in each of the eight divisions engages in one game scratch match play, single elimination, eight-player brackets, until one player prevails in each division and continues on to a regional second round; conducting a regional second round in 512 locations that are geographically distributed as equally as possible in which each of the eight divisions engages in one game scratch match play, single elimination, until one player prevails in each division and continues on to a championship round; conducting a championship round in a single location in which each of the 512 league players who prevail in the regional second round in each of the eight divisions engages in one game scratch match play, single elimination, until 8 tournament champions prevail, one in each of the eight divisions.

This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patentapplication Ser. No. 10/617,993, filed Jul. 11, 2003, which claimspriority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/396,391,filed Jul. 11, 2002.

This is a one game scratch match play single elimination tournament. Itis open to all league bowlers who pay a $1.00 Per Week Entry Fee for theentire league season. This fee is to be added to the regular league feesconsisting of lineage and league prize fund. Eligible league bowlerswill be placed into eight average divisions based according to theirhighest average in the current league season with a minimum of 60 games.If an eligible league bowler does not have a current average with aminimum of 60 games then they can use their highest average in the lastthree years or they can use their highest lifetime average with aminimum of 60 games. League bowlers who bowl and pay partial leagueseasons will be allowed to bowl in the tournament if they meet theminimum number of games requirement. Some league teams have more membersthan the league maximum weekly requirement such as seven regular payingmembers on a five-member league team. The proprietor will make thedecision on all bowler eligibility. They can either require the partialleague season bowler to pay the difference in tournament prize fundmoney between a full season league bowler and the partial league seasonbowler from that particular league or they can absorb the loss. This isone reason why the tournament doesn't take 100% of the tournament prizefund money. The goal of this tournament is to be fair to the proprietorand their league bowlers. If an eligible league bowler does not meet anyof the above rules for establishing a tournament average, then theproprietor can place the eligible league bowler in an appropriateaverage division based on the proprietor's knowledge of the game. Thetournament management reserves the rights to readjust any bowlersaverage at any time during the tournament. Any bowler whose average hasbeen readjusted will be placed in another average division.

All eligible league bowlers will be separated by their averages intoEight Different Average Divisions. In Division I are averages 215 ormore. In Division II are averages 200 to 214. In Division III areaverages 185 to 199. In Division IV are averages 170 to 184. In DivisionV are averages 155 to 169. In Division VI are averages 140 to 154. InDivision VII are averages 125 to 139. In Division VIII are averages 124or less. One tournament champion will come from each of these averagedivisions. Eligible tournament bowlers will compete only against otherbowlers within their average division in all rounds of competition. Withthis format bowlers of equal ability will be competing against bowlersof the same ability.

This tournament will consist of three separate rounds of competition.The First Round will be held locally. It is the only round an eligibleleague bowler can have multiple entries in the tournament. Entries inthe First Round will be based on the number of leagues a bowler pays andparticipates in. Bowl and pay in one league gets you one entry in theFirst Round. Bowl and pay in two leagues gets you two entries in theFirst Round, etc.

Before the First Round begins the proprietor will compile a list of allof the bowlers in their center and sort the eligible bowlers from theineligible bowlers. They will sort the eligible bowlers into theappropriate eight average divisions while also listing the number ofentries a bowler is entitled to have due to the number of leagues theybowled and paid in.

The First Round will be one game scratch match play single eliminationeight-bowler brackets with one person prevailing and continuing on tothe Second Round. In other words, win three games in a row in aneight-bowler bracket and you go on to the Second Round.

All eight-bowler brackets will be randomly drawn. Bowler One will bowlBowler Two, Bowler Three will bowl Bowler Four, Bowler Five will bowlBowler Six, Bowler Seven will bowl Bowler Eight in the first game of thematch game. The winner between Bowler One and Bowler Two will bowl onegame against the winner between Bowler Three and Bowler Four. The winnerbetween Bowler Five and Bowler Six will bowl one game against the winnerof the match between Bowler Seven and Bowler Eight The winners of thesematches will bowl one game with the winner of this match going on to theSecond Round. 1 1 2 1 3 3 4 1 5 5 6 5 7 7 8

One game match play will have two bowlers on a pair of lanes. One bowlerwill be assigned the left lane and the other bowler will be assigned theright lane. The bowler on the left lane will start the game and completeone frame on that lane. The bowler on the right lane will bowl twoframes one on each lane starting with the right lane. From this momenton both bowlers will take turns bowling two frames at a time one frameon each lane until the bowler who started on the right lane hascompleted their game. Followed by one frame on the right lane from thebowler who started on the left lane, thus completing one game of matchplay. This procedure of match play is called pro style.

If there are ties in match play, then they shall be broken by a ninthand tenth frame roll-off. The bowler who finished the match on the leftlane bowls the ninth frame of the tie-breaker on the left lane. Theopponent bowls their ninth frame on the right lane and the tenth frameon the left lane. The first bowler then bowls the tenth frame on theright lane completing the tie-breaker. If a tie exists after theroll-off, the sequence is repeated until a winner is determined.

The seven losing bowlers in an eight-bowler bracket are out of thetournament unless they have more entries left or they are randomlychosen to fill any of the remaining eight-bowler brackets that needseven or fewer bowlers. Bowlers with the most entries will have thefirst preference in filling those eight-bowler brackets that need sevenor fewer bowlers. Bowlers with an equal number of entries will berandomly drawn in order to fill those eight-bowler brackets that needseven or fewer bowlers. The eight-bowler brackets will continue untilevery bowler's entries have been used except for those bowlers withunused entries who have qualified for the Second Round by winning theireight-bowler bracket.

Those bowlers who have used all of the entries are out of the tournamentunless there are eight-bowler brackets that need seven or fewer bowlersand all of the bowlers with entries have been used. These bowlers willbe placed in a random drawing to choose the bowlers to fill theavailable spots. If more bowlers are needed to fill any of theeight-bowler brackets and they have used all of their entries, thenfirst preference will be given to those bowlers who were not chosen tofill any of the previous random drawings. If there are less than eightbowlers available to fill an eight-bowler bracket, then the bowlers withthe most unused entries will be given first preference to any byes inthe first game of match play. If the bowlers have an equal number ofentries, then there will be a random drawing for the placement of thebowlers in the eight-bowler bracket. If a bowling center has too fewbowlers to fill one eight-bowler bracket in one of the averagedivisions, then the tournament director will chose another center forthose bowlers to compete in the First Round.

The Second Round will be held regionally in 512 separate locations.These locations will be as equally distributed as possible. In otherwords Detroit will have more Second Round locations than San Franciscobecause there are currently more league bowlers in Detroit than thereare in San Francisco. The First Round winners will be placed in SecondRound locations as close to their local center as it is possible. TheSecond Round bowlers will compete in one game scratch match play singleelimination until one bowler prevails undefeated. If byes are neededthen they will occur in the first game of the Second Round. This will beaccomplished by subtracting the total number of bowlers over 64 or 128and then subtracting that number from the same 64 or 128 in order to getthe number of byes needed in the Second Round. The Second Round willhave random drawings in order to determine byes and match playopponents. All bowlers will be treated equally with no preferences.

EXAMPLE: If there are 65 bowlers in the Second Round location then yousubtract 64 from 65 to get 1. (65−64=1) Now subtract 1 from 64 to getthe number of bowlers receiving a bye in the first game of match play inthe Second Round. (64−1=63) So 63 bowlers will receive a one game bye inthe first game of match play in the Second Round. The first game ofmatch play in the Second Round will have 2 bowlers (65−63=2) competingagainst each other. There will be a random drawing for these 2 bowlersin order to match up opponents and lane assignments. The second game ofmatch play will consist of the 63 bowlers who had received byes and the1 winner from the first game of match play. These 64 bowlers (63+1=64)will be placed in a random drawing in order to match up opponents andlane assignments. All match play losers will be finished in thetournament. All match play winners will continue competing in one gamescratch match play until one bowler has qualified for the ChampionshipRound.

EXAMPLE: If there are 98 bowlers in the Second Round location then yousubtract 64 from 98 to get 34. (98−64=34) Now subtract 34 from 64 to getthe number of bowlers receiving a bye in the first game of match play inthe Second Round. (64−34=30) So 30 bowlers will receive a one game byein the first game of match play in the Second Round. The first game ofmatch play in the Second Round will have 68 bowlers (98−30=68) competingagainst each other. There will be a random drawing for these 68 bowlersin order to match up opponents and lane assignments. The second game ofmatch play will consist of the 30 bowlers who had received byes and the34 winners from the first game of match play. These 64 bowlers(30+34=64) will be placed in a random drawing in order to match upopponents and lane assignments. All match play losers will be finishedin the tournament. All match play winners will continue competing in onegame scratch match play until one bowler has qualified for theChampionship Round.

EXAMPLE: If there are 137 bowlers in the Second Round location then yousubtract 128 from 137 to get 9. (137−128=9) Now subtract 9 from 128 toget the number of bowlers receiving a bye in the first game of matchplay in the Second Round (128−9=119). So 119 bowlers will receive a onegame bye in the first game of match play in the Second Round. The firstgame of match play in the Second Round will have 18 bowlers (137−119=18)competing against each other. There will be a random drawing for these18 bowlers in order to match up opponents and lane assignments. Thesecond game of match play will consist of the 119 bowlers who hadreceived byes and the 9 winners from the first game of match play. These128 bowlers (119+9=128) will be placed in a random drawing in order tomatch up opponents and lane assignments. All match play losers will befinished in the tournament. All match play winners will continuecompeting in one game scratch match play until one bowler has qualifiedfor the Championship Round.

The Second Round winners will receive an all expense paid trip tocompete in the Championship Round. The Championship Round will be heldin a large metropolitan city. The 512 Second Round winners of eachaverage division will have a random drawing in order to match up firstgame opponents and their lane assignments. This will be a one gamescratch match play single elimination format. The 512 bowlers in thefirst game will have 256 winners and 256 losers. The 256 losers will befinished competing in the Championship Round. The 256 winners will havea random drawing in order to match up the second game opponents andtheir lane assignments. The 256 bowlers in the second game will have 128winners and 128 losers. The 128 losers will be finished competing in theChampionship Round. The 128 winners will have a random drawing in orderto match up the third game opponents and their lane assignments. Thetournament will continue with this format until there are four bowlersremaining. The 4 remaining bowlers will have a random drawing in orderto match up opponents and their lane assignments. There will be twowinners and two losers. The losers will bowl against each other to findout who will finish in THIRD PLACE and FOURTH PLACE in the tournament.They will have a random drawing for lane assignments and then they willbowl. The two winners will have a random drawing for lane assignments.They will bowl one game with the winner having won the CHAMPIONSHIP inthat average division and the loser finishing in SECOND PLACE. Therewill be 8 TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS, one in each average division.

Now that the championship process has been described it is time todescribe the tournament prize fund. There are approximately 3,200,000sanctioned winter-season league bowlers. These bowlers compete in winterleagues from 30 to 36 weeks each year. This tournament will receive$1.00 per week from every league bowler participating in the tournamentplus their re-entries in the First Round that comes from multiple leagueparticipation. This tournament will not receive any tournament prizefund money from the bowlers who were added to fill a First Roundeight-bowler bracket after all of their paid entries were used. Thistournament will keep $25 per bowler per league for entry use in thetournament prize fund payoff. The proprietor will keep all tournamentprize fund money in excess of the $25 per bowler per league to be usedto pay for First Round tournament in house expenses such as lineage andlabor. They will also keep the full entry share of the tournament prizefund from the bowlers who bowled in multiple leagues and qualified forthe Second Round before they used all of their entries. With 100%national participation the tournament prize fund will receive$80,000,000. (3,200,000×$25=$80,000,000) This is what the tournamentprize payoff will approximately look like with 100%, 50%, and 25%national league participation. % of participation 100% 50% 25% TotalPrize Fund $80,000,000 $40,000,000 $20,000,000 (3,200,000 × $25)(1,600,000 × $25) (800,000 × $25) FIRST PLACE per $2,000,000 $1,000,000$400,000 average division SECOND $1,000,000 $500,000 $200,000 THIRD$500,000 $250,000 $100,000 FOURTH $250,000 $125,000 $50,000 5^(th) thru8^(th) $125,000 $60,000 $25,000 9^(th) thru 16^(th) $60,000 $30,000$12,500 17^(th) thru 32^(nd) $30,000 $16,000 $6,250 33^(rd) thru 64^(th)$16,000 $8,000 $3,125 65^(th) thru 128^(th) $8,000 $4,000 $1,600129^(th) thru 256^(th) $4,000 $2,000 $800 257^(th) thru 512^(th) $2,000$1,000 $400 Sec.

The 512 bowlers from each average division who qualified to bowl in theChampionship Round will get an all expense paid trip to the location ofthe Championship Round. (transportation, food, and lodging).

This tournament is an attempt to help the bowling industry and leaguebowlers who have been loyal participants of the sport. The bowlingindustry has lost over 5 million league bowlers in the last 15 yearswhile it has maintained its participation from the 50 million non-leaguebowlers over the same period of time. The bowling industry needs to havea national tournament for all league bowlers who compete on a weeklybasis. This tournament will give all league bowlers a chance to competeagainst other league bowlers of equal ability. The proprietor's' shouldbenefit from this tournament because current league bowlers will beencouraged to bowl in additional leagues so that they would getadditional entries in the First Round of this tournament. Non-leaguebowlers will want to join a league so that they can have a chance to winmoney from one of the many large prize fund purses. Future tournamentscan have more than one tournament per year with the additionaltournaments changing the formats like having men competing against onlymen and women competing against only women, and/or changing pindifference in the average divisions, and/or changing the bracket sizes.

Some activities and/or sports such as golf can use this tournamentprocess.

Televised Average Divisional Bowling

Bowlers with a current USBC membership (which was the ABC/WIBC) and anaverage with a minimum of 21 games bowled in sanctioned league play cancompete in one of twelve separate average divisions. These bowlers willcompete in a one game scratch single elimination format, only withintheir average division. These average divisions are (220 or more, 219 to210, 209 to 200, 199 to 190, 189 to 180, 179 to 170, 169 to 160, 159 to150, 149 to 140, 139 to 130, 129 to 120, and 119 or less). The bowlersin each division in each city are sorted for single elimination matchplay similar to the regional round in the non-televised nationaltournament since there will be a different number of entries in eachdivision from each city. There will be no need for the uniformity of theeight-bowler bracket since the entry fee isn't paid through the leagueseason. Depending on the number of entries in each division some bowlerswill receive a bye in the first game of match play. The goal will be tohave no byes thereafter since the second game will have the number ofbowlers remaining in groupings of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. There willbe a cash entry fee with a chance to compete on television and bowlagainst a guest star. Several cities will be chosen from the largesttelevision markets but only one city is necessary to start thetelevision show. From these cities bowlers will compete with one bowlercoming from each average division from each city or the final twobowlers from each average division if only one city is used to start thetelevision show. These divisional winners from each city will receive anall expense paid trip to a city chosen later where they can compete in aone game scratch single elimination format until only two bowlers remainfrom each average division. These remaining bowlers will compete in atelevised final with one show per average division; therefore there willbe 12 televised finals.

The televised show will have the two remaining bowlers from theiraverage division bowling in a one game scratch single elimination formatwith the winner earning the top cash prize and the loser earning half asmuch money. The winner of the game will earn the chance to bowl a onegame scratch match against a guest star. The guest star could perform a5-minute act similar to the old variety shows. The guest star will bowla one game scratch match against the winner from the previous match ofthe two divisional average finalists. Before bowling the match thewinner of the previous match and the guest star will each draw a namerandomly from viewers who have sent in their name, address, and phonenumber vie e-mail or regular mail. They will then represent thatindividual in their match and whatever they win from their match theviewer randomly chosen will also win. The winner of the match betweenthe guest star and the division champion will earn a cash prize whilethe loser earns half as much cash. If there is still time remaining inthe televised show then individuals from the audience can be randomlyselected to throw a first shot against all ten pins winning a small cashprize for throwing a strike.

Because this tournament is televised and with the opportunity of bowlingagainst a guest star it won't be necessary to have a large cash prize inorder to stimulate interest in participation from league bowlers. Sinceleague bowlers should be thrilled to possibly bowl on television andcompete against a guest star the size of the cash prize should be lessimportant therefore allowing for more average divisions and increasedcompetitiveness.

The divisional television show would be best if it were on a nationalnetwork but it would be acceptable if it were on a local station inseveral large cities throughout the United States. Golf or other gamescould have this same divisional format as a televised show.

EXAMPLE: Before the First Round begins the proprietor will compile alist of all of the bowlers in their center and sort the eligible bowlersfrom the ineligible bowlers. They will sort the eligible bowlers intoone of the appropriate eight average divisions while also listing thenumber of entries each bowler is entitled to have due to the number ofleagues they bowled and paid in.

Since there are 8 bowlers in this average division, there will be oneeight-bowler bracket with a random drawing in order to match upopponents and lane assignments. Since there are two bowlers with morethan one entry (Ken (3) and Mark (2)), there will be at least one moreeight-bowler bracket because the brackets are not finished until all ofthe entries are used by every bowler.

Steve has qualified for the Second Round. Since all of the bowlers inthis eight-bowler bracket had at least one unused entry, there wereeight paid entries that go into the tournament prize fund.

Since two bowlers still have unused entries (Ken(2) and Mark(1)), therewill be another eight-bowler bracket. Since there are only seven bowlersavailable to bowl in the next eight-bowler bracket, then the bowler withthe most unused entries will receive a bye in the first game of thisbracket. Ken (2) is that bowler so he will receive a bye in the firstgame of this bracket. Mark (1) is in this eight-bowler bracket becausehe has one unused entry. Since Mark (1) did not receive a bye in thefirst game of this bracket, he will be in a random drawing to match upopponents and lane assignments in this bracket. There are 5 bowlers whohave no entries. (Faye (0), Gabe (0), Loy (0), Mike (0), and Sean (0))These 5 bowlers would be finished with the tournament if not for theneed to have enough bowlers to fill this eight-bowler bracket.

Only one bowler (Ken (1)) still has an unused entry, this will be thelast eight-bowler bracket in this average division. Since there are onlysix bowlers available to bowl in the next eight-bowler bracket therewill be two byes in the first game of this bracket. The two bowlers withthe most unused entries will receive the two byes in the first game ofthis bracket. Ken (1) is the only bowler with any unused entries so hegets the bye. Since Faye(−0), Gabe(−0), Mike(−0), and Sean(−0) were inthe last bracket as fill bowlers with no entries and this is theirsecond bracket to be used as fill bowlers, then Mark(0) gets the otherbye because he had an entry in the last bracket and this is his firstbracket to be used as a fill bowler. Since Ken(1) and Mark(0) receivebyes in the first game, then Faye(−0), Gabe(−0), Mike(−0), and Sean(−0)will have a random drawing in order to match up opponents and laneassignments in the first game of the next bracket.

Phil(−0), Oliver(−0), and Barbara(−0) will not be in the random drawingto fill these seven spots because they were already chosen to fill aprevious eight-bowler bracket. There are enough bowlers who have noremaining entries and were not chosen to fill any previous eight-bowlerbrackets to fill the seven available spots.

In the previous example there are three bowlers who have qualified tobowl in the Second Round from the 124 or Less AVERAGE DIVISION. Felix,Zoe, and Fred are joined with seventy-seven bowlers who have qualifiedfrom other Bowling Centers to bowl in this Second Round location. Sincethe total number of bowlers bowling in this Second Round location ismore than 64 but less than 128, the tournament director will use 64 asthe base number in order to find out how many bowlers will receive a byein the first game of the Second Round.

Since there are 80 bowlers, the tournament director will subtract 64from 80 to get 16. (80−64=16) Now they will subtract 16 from 64 to get48, the number of bowlers receiving a bye in the first game of matchplay in the Second Round. (64−16=48) Forty-eight bowlers will receive abye in the first game of match play in this Second Round. The first gameof match play in the Second Round will have 32 bowlers (80−48=32)competing against each other.
